Individuals everywhere are asking, "How can I find my purpose?" That's the wrong question. You don't find your purpose-you build it.

You'll learn how to: find the reason behind your work, identify what makes you feel happy and engaged, use job crafting to transform your role, connect your work to service, build positive, fulfilling relationships, let go of past purposes-and take steps toward new ones, arm yourself with the advice you need to succeed on the job, with the most trusted brand in business.
